Stand-off inward form die assembly for loose radials Supercut/RS4 - Iteco 161500

During wave soldering the component should not touch the board, so that flux residues can be washed out and heat can escape. On the Supercut/RS4 this die assembly forms an inward directed loop into both leads of a loose radial component, holding the body at a distance and locking it in the hole at the same time.

Operating features

• Defined gap above the board - the loop acts as a spacer, the body does not rest on the laminate.
• Loop formed inwards - the shape stays inside the lead pitch, the hole pattern remains unchanged.
• Part held before soldering - the retention keeps the component in the hole while the assembly is turned over.
• Cutting and forming in one stroke - a single press on the foot switch trims the leads and forms them in the same operation.
• 2000 pieces per hour - the pneumatic drive keeps the machine cycle steady over long production runs.
• Die change in seconds - the die assembly is replaced as a whole, no rebuilding of the machine is needed.

Applications

Wave soldered assemblies with a mandatory cleaning step, power electronics with heat carrying components, and boards that are turned or transported before the soldering step.

Compatibility and scope of supply

The die belongs to the 16x.xxx die range and works in the pneumatic cutting and forming machine Supercut/RS4, which Iteco lists under part number 7915.166. The machine is supplied without a die, every forming shape needs its own die assembly. The complete assembly is exchanged quickly and without rebuilding the machine. On the stronger Supercut/TS1 (Iteco 7915.171) the same forming shape carries the number 181500. On request Iteco supplies the machine with three cylinders and a custom die for non standard shapes. Supplied as one complete die assembly. Made in Italy.
